The Bridge, Bron/Broen, whatever

[Northbloke]

Saw this mentioned on here and thought I'd give it a try on Catch-up...and ended up watching all 8 available episodes of Series 2 over a few nights. Fabulous stuff.

Saga is strangely compelling despite being full-on mental. Her attempts at sorting out her relationship are hilarious. Martin is the perfect foil for her.

Great story, great characters, great production, great acting. 10/10.

And to think the BBC are showing a drama with Eco-activists as the bad guys rather than saviours of the planet. How did that slip through?

Need to see Series 1 now.

(oh and having sub-titles made me concentrate on it more rather than browsing on my tablet at the same time.)

Up to episode 6, makes the train into London bearable! Also looking for Series 1. I will check out iTunes or rip it from DVD.

Just found this on BBC news site, they must have been on BBC Breakfast this morning.

The wife spotted Kim Bodnia this morning on her way (she works at BBC North) and nearly wet herself with excitement.

Typically her battery was flat though and so she didn't get a pic with him

[Gaspode]

Great to hear they are up for a third series.

Thanks for posting this, kind of strange seeing them out of character and speaking English!

[Swervin_Mervin]

I can't get over just how different she is in reality, yet he looks exactly the same. It must be because she's got make up on, has her hair done and is smiling!

The start of the interview was quite memorable, what with Sofia Helin asking Susannah Reid to spread her legs! "But I'm wearing a dress...!"

Oh crumbs, DM

Binge watched the first series a week or so ago, the second series awaits on my PVR.

Exactly, I find myself warming to Saga, but Sofia speaking English, done up with make-up and hair, just makes her seem 'normal' and somewhat boring.

Just went to see Nordic Noir at the Truman brewery in London and saw the Porsche 911s. It has a mph speedo with stickers on it indicating the equivalent kmh. So no doubt it's a US import. Also they are stuck up the plastic cover of the dial and handwritten.

One down, which was brilliant. Last one coming

[ALawson]

Iplayer is only up to episode 8 (shown last Saturday apparently) but looks like the last episode is on bbc4 now. When did they show E9?

[Amirhussain]

Watched 8 episodes on iplayer, the 9th one I will watch tonight, great show, best show on BBC I've seen since Luther.

[anonymous-user]

Now THAT, was some dam good telly! ;-)

[ajprice]

Yes indeedie. New thread for Salamander next week? Anyone know if it's any good?

[davepoth]

The last episode was pretty awesome, and I wasn't expecting it to go down quite like it did.

I guess Martin wanted to get caught, really?

[dtmpower]

I wasn't expecting that !

You'd think Saga would remember she framed her mum yet her only friend did a crime and she called him in

Or am I missing something obvious ?

But still incredible series.

She can't not say anything. Hence why she went to see him beforehand.

Hell of a final episode. Going to have to go cold turkey now! Here's hoping Salamander fills the void well.
